I think, Idealistically, from an average male's propspective, a chaste wife would be a great gift of heart and body, but there are men who think it their right to have a virginal bride. Many women even men choose to withold from sexual contact until they are fully emerged into the martial state. This has it's benefits as well as it's negative points. A positive to chastity with either or both partner is that it protects against the spread of HIV and other STDs. On the flip side, waiting until marriage leaves the burning question, "what if this is the only man I'll ever kiss." Even virginal women have usually kissed other males. You can easily tell what you consider to be a good kiss, a bad kiss and one that simply has "fireworks." it's much the same with sex. Not every time will be perfect but if you wait until marriage to ever have sex, you'll have never known anything different. It's kind of like being born in Athens Georgia, growing up there and never knowing anything else. You may never know the wonders of a severly passionate lover or even the pitfalls of a broken heart... associated with your bed. Sometimes I wish I had saved myself for my husband, but for the most part, I feel... if I had never gone through what I did, I might never have found him and I might never know just how good he is for me and... in fact, TO me.

With sex come consequences such as children out of wedlock as well as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). I can say I am disease free and may be lying about it. Men and women do this everyday. Why do you think so many people are contracting the viruses?

Keep sex until after marriage because the consequences are too difficult to deal with. Let me here your responses.

I definitely feel you approach to heavily to one side. I understand that the bible and it's moral codes may apply to you but not to everyone. I myself am catholic and have, just like many other teens, out of wedlock found myself among the confessors with tears in my eyes and a rosary in my hand on my knees. However, I wish that instead of everyone always telling me to simply not engage in such activities, telling me that my body would be "soiled," and not fit for marriage, I wish they would have told me that my body was something special and that, should I choose to save it for my husband, it would be a gift greater than any I could give other than my heart. I also wish they had told me, my family as well as my church, that should I choose not to, that there were condoms and birth control to help protect me. It would have meant the world to me to have been able to go to the people I love and people who say they care about me for this information rather than the local teen clinic, where the people are as sterile as the examination table. When you make teens feel that sex before marriage is an abomination, you give them fear, not to react on a basic instinct, but to ask or come to you when they feel they need the advice of those close to them.

I do not think there is anything wrong with sex before marriage. The only reason this has ever come up is because of the Christian/Catholic religion. It's commandments or whatever they are called state this because back when they were thought up there were no condems or birth control pills so this was a problem. They made this rule so that people wouldn't get pregnant every time they had sex. Atleast than most of the time when they had sex when married they would nto get divorced and usually the kids would just end up working on the farm or as labourers.

I think that sex before marriage is definitely a no. Why do people have sex in the first place. Everyone is specially made and unique, don't just give it up wait till you really fall in love. have you ever thought that people don't get married because they cannot deal with the commitment???? So if anyone wants to leave the relationship they can. but once you have made that covenant with someone the love is there and you are able to work through things because you have made that commitment. I believe in God and his word. I didn't understand before and now i regret even messing around.People please also don't get it twisted just because you are not having sexual intercourse, please do not engage in oral or anal sex because that is still a sin especially when you are not in a proper relationship.But, if you are going to have sex just remember to protect yourself even though you will never be 100%. Any comments

Sex before marriage is a sin, because GOD, created Adam and Eve, and they became married, at those times. So, when they started sinning against GOD, they started having children, but being married. So, the fact, that they have sinned, GOD didn't change anything, about having sex, before marriage. We have, to wait for a good time, to come, and enjoy it, to the fullest. AMEN.

sex before marriage, perhaps it's good for temporary time. but after we do that kind of activity, don't you feel guilty to your God and to your parents? sex must be a symbol of love, and without a guilty feelings...to anyone.

Sex before marriage is really destructive, even if you don't think so. I was talking with two of my male co-workers about this subject (both of whom have had premarital sex), and one made the comment, "Why not test drive the car before you buy it?" For the sake of this comment, lets compare two beautiful, desirous, worthy women to two expensive, rich, desirous sport cars. Both women, in God's eyes, are expensive and worthy, just like the two sport cars. However, the woman who does not respect herself enough to save sex for marriage does not know her worth and value. She doesn't understand that she is worthy to have a man love her for who she is and wait for her to have sex. This woman sells herself (as the expensive sport car) for the price of a broken, rundown, useless car. (And by the way, if she doesn't realize her own value and treats herself like a brokendown car, she's not going to know her partner's value and is going to treat him the same way).
The other woman, who knows that God values her and knows that a man should respect her and wait to enjoy her in marriage, does not settle for anything less than what she is worth. No one in their right mind would sell a Porsche for the price of a Pinto! Why would any woman sell herself short for the true love that comes when a man is patient and kind enought to wait to have sex with his future bride?

Having premarital sex makes a person feel cheap and used, especially when the relationship doesn't work out. This lowers the person's self-esteem and shatters their confidence. Who would want to test-drive a rundown, broken car? Work for yourself and buy yourself a Porsche--a faithful person who knows their value and saves thier innermost intimacy for thier special partner--thier future spouse.

God created you and sees you as worthy. You are like a Porsche to God, that's why He sent His only son Jesus to die on the cross for your sins. He wants you to have the best sexual life possible, and that only comes in a faithful, committed relationship in marriage. God knows this, and that's why He ordained it this way. Avoid the pain of premarital sex!

Has anyone heard about a new GSN show called “Without Prejudice?”  It’s a new show where a group of people judge others based on first impressions.  Some really interesting  issues are discussed like immigration, gay marriage and adoption, job outsourcing abroad, a woman's right to abortion, interracial relationships, mothers with career vs. stay at home, women in politics, right to spank children, prostitution, war and terrorism, sex and violence in the media, the death penalty, legalization of marijuana, religion and right to bear arms, etc. Should be juicy!! Tune in Tuesdays at @ 9PM.

That show sounds really interesting.  A lot of touchy subjects will be talked about, that should make for some good fights.  I will totally check it out, when does it start?

Interesting reading all the stuff on sex before marriage...I tend to lean against the wait until married take on this one!! I think Sex is ment for marriage and sex outside marriage can lead to problems. i definately dont like the idea of having sex with lots of people. I have dated lots but not had sex, looking back that has been a good thing for me...I just cant wait to be married and having sex as it was intended to be .....in the comforts of a committment to each other

 I think sex before marriage is fine. You should always use protection thought, and if you are wanting to have a child it doesnt matter if you are married or not just as long as you can support yourself and the baby.

To me there is nothing wrong with sex before marriage. You need to know somebody you are going to spend the rest of your life with sexually otherwise the marriage may collapse before the honeymoon. Visit any marriage counsellor today, his/her case file will be full of sex-induced marriage problems. Some of these counsellors are using the opportunity to lure their clients (mostly females) into bed, especially if it is the husbands that were not up to their masculine duties. Understanding your sexual partner takes time - some like it rough while some like it gentle; some are maniacs while some are frigid; some are impotent while some are fertile. I don't want us to use scriptures (Quoran or Bible) to teach sexuality education or any issues that has to do with sex. Jacob had it with two blood sisters. Adam's sons and daugthers had it with themselves. I can't use the songs of Solomon to pray for my children. All these happened in the old testament, agreed. In the new testament when all the 'Thou Shall Nots' were replaced/removed, people started to abuse sex because they knew that they would beg for forgiveness of sins. It is amazing, you can kill your fellow human being and still enter paradise. This is simple, just accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour and repent your sins before passing away. In Islam, you can bomb the whole world in the name of faith and you will marry virgins in paradise. We should use 'cause and effect' to teach sexuality education and not religion. In fact 'Thou Shall Nots' have failed woefully because of 'Reactance Theory'. Reactance Theory states that youths generally will always like to experiment on what is tagged 'Thou Shall Not'. You have to inform the youths about the consequences of their sexual activities.
